As a boy growing up in a town called Crystal River Fl back in the early 70's, my mother took my sister and I out to the end of our dirt driveway to the limerock road to watch Apollo 17 lift off on it's only night launch... Even though we were clear across the state of Fl, we still saw that giant rocket head off for the heavens :-) Mom waited till about 5 minutes b4 liftoff, grabbed my little sis and off we went, as a boy of 7 I didn't appreciate what I was witnessing, but I still remember that launch to this day... And so does she :-) Also made the trip across the state to watch a shuttle launch too, while it too was impressive, there's nothing like a Saturn launch!!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane ;-)
I have a friend lucky enough to have witnessed a Saturn V launch from about four or five miles away and she said even that far away, you could feel the ground rumbling and that she felt it in her bones. The Saturn V was a magnificent achievement.
@@harrietharlow9929 thechnically the saturn v is a slowly exploding bomb, after the nuclear bombs this bird makes the second loudest man made noise that ever existed. man i wish i could have seen one of these. as a european ( german) you can guess my chances, french guyana, florida and baikonur ( kasachstan?) are equally far away from where i am, damn xD ^^
Superb documentary. At 18:40 when John Houbolt talks of Wernher von Braun telling him "Thank You John" after Apollo 11 landed on the moon was very special.
True that its sad their doubeling down now because they want to stay waaay a head in the cold war that ended NOT we could already have colonies on the moon and mars if us defense didnt went on a overkill shopping spree
I was there for both Apollo 8 & 11 launches as a spectator. It is something I will NEVER forget. I was three miles away and those rockets shook the very ground we were standing and talk about loud.. I am still deaf 😁
By this day, I have Apollo 13 and all the From the Earth to the Moon episodes memorized. I can recite every word out of every line from these. And all the dates, all the places, all the names. And now I see all these faces in real person!!! Incredible experience.
That is one cool series ("From the Earth to the Moon"). and I make sure to watch it at least once or twice a year. Tom Hanks did a bang-up job with that. I tear up every time I hear "The Eagle has landed" (my parents even let me stay up late for the occasion). I was 16 at the time of the first moon landing and I still remember how excited we all were as Neil Armstrong took that first step onto the lunar surface. I am gad to have been alive at that time--it was an era like no other.
Shame everything after low earth orbit is fake and people believe in cartoon landings that have no rocket sounds while there speaking even though they're in a tin can. Moon rocks that got tested that shown to be petrified wood that were given as gifts to royalty. How can you watch this pathetic nonsense and still believe it.
After his time at NASA, John Houbolt worked with my Dad at Aeronautical Research Associates of Princeton. I was a kid and I remember him and his wife coming over for dinner with my parents. I remember meeting him fondly. I also got to meet Jack Schmitt at a lecture in Princeton a year or two after Apollo 17.
I remember watching Apollo 17 lift off! It was really late (for a 13-year-old on a school night, anyway!) because there had been numerous "holds" while they got everything straightened out. But the wait was worth it! The commentator was so excited! "It's like daylight here at Cape Kennedy!!" Even on my little B&W TV in my bedroom it was spectacular! We need to get our shit together, stop fighting wars and get back up there!!
I applaud the makers of this film about this historic feat. I had just celebrated my 11th birthday the day before Alan Shepard became the first American into space. I watched every launch, fascinated and with fingers crossed. I can remember getting up at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning to watch the launches from the west coast. I am still proud of the American know how that got those men to the moon and back. We won't forget the sacrifices of White, Grissom, and Chaffe either. They knew the dangers involved and were supreme examples of 'The Right Stuff'.
I will never forget those days. I was 10 yrs old watching the liftoff on a 19" B&W TV with about 100 other kids that day. Then we all assembled in the auditorium again for the landing on the moon. How fortunate we were. History was made that day and in the days that followed. Almost 50 years have passed since we began this journey. Mars is the next step. Let's do it. Our destiny is in outer space. Let's go.
I was raised in that era. As a young boy my dad worked on the early attempts to refine rocketry in the deserts of New Mexico. Later we moved to Los Angeles, where he would bring home 8X10 glossy photos of the Lunar regolith taken by one of the Surveyor space craft that had landed on its surface. In my in my teens dad became the Senior Electrical QA Supervisor on the Apollo Launch Team working for North American Aviation. It was a magical time that follow on generations do not comprehend or been inspired by. Self serving politicians played off a dumbed down electorate to end our fledgling steps into deep space with promises of "free" cell phones, health care, and so forth. It's very sad.
I remember the biggie at the time being school lunches. Like it was an either/or. And pop culture was all about Tang and renaming "Space food sticks" to take the word "space" out of it, as it was only a marketing gimmick. All the while, the clock kept ticking, and the tech quickly slipped into being entirely un-maintainable. Cheaper to do from scratch, which we never did. Too busy building and maintaining a nuclear arsenal and burning fuel in military craft, fighting out proxy wars.
@J Calhoun if we pay taxes and the rich pay their fair share and have a single payer there will be savings due to cutting out the middle men. How much you pay for health insurance?
@J Calhoun If you have any friends who are doctors ask them what they think about health insurance companies, or look into it yourself. They're not losing money!!! they have a licence to steal.
@Ray Carpenter..exactly...you nailed it...The politicians took the money away and redirected most of it (after they took their cut) to an ever increasing indigent society..in an effort to gain votes.. We could go back tomorrow...with the funding restored.. There is no longer the political will to do it..
What natural sense of occasion Neil Armstrong had.. To come up with the name, "Tranquillity Base" right on the moment.. That crew will never be forgotten.
While that world be good, and in some ways would be comforting, it seems more apparent (or seems more apparent to me) that the base was named for the Sea of Tranquility - the large surface area of the moon upon which the base was located.
I've often wondered if NASA used Hypnosis on their astronauts but told the poor bastards that it was just in case they lost it out in space and this way they could use a single word to calm them when in truth it was to make them fully believe they went to the moon?? Something's wrong there because these dumbass astronauts seem to actually believe they went. The CIA were very prevalent at NASA back in the day and probably still are. Mind control experiments?? The CIA were all about that shit back then so it could've been used on those poor bastards.. haha! Nae lad they're all lying bastards and you're one of the sheep for believing it because it was on TV.. but I saw it on TV. They wouldn't to us.. They just wouldn't.. Numpty!!!
@@daytripperhd I'm really stupid?? U are the stupid bastard if u believe we went to the moon in the so called LEM made out of tin foil like materials. Come on doughnut, surely your brain doesn't allow u to blindly believe they flew through the Van Allen belts and survive even though we know what happens when u go through them, the reaction with any kind of metals I mean... So can u even explain that instead of calling people names for questioning the narrative. U can be a brain dead moron and believe the liars but not me. I would rather question everything and try to find out whether they're actually telling the truth or not.
Armstrong was nominally a civilian in that he was not active duty military, like the others. He was none the less a Navy combat pilot in Korea in the 1950s before becoming a test pilot in the X-15 program.
He was a Civilian, he resigned his USNR Commission in 1960. he was paid by NASA. Buzz and Mike Collins were still serving regular officers on the USAF payroll.
Good stuff, but they went from Apollo 11 to Apollo 13 without talking about 12, (where lightning hit the contrail of the rocket just after lift off) and from Apollo 13 to 15, skipping right over Apollo 14, with Al Shepard and Ed Mitchell walking on the moon, with Stuart Roosa as command module pilot...particularly odd to not mention it, considering that Alan Shepard was the only one of the original Mercury 7 to walk on the moon.
4:23 the man is saying that the thickness of the crew compartment is the thickness of three pieces of Reynolds Wrap. In fact, 12 thousandths of an inch (.012 in) is actually the thickness of three beer cans (which are .004 in each). Household aluminum foil is about .0006 in, so it would take 20 thicknesses of aluminum foil to equal the thickness of the thinnest areas of the LM crew compartment skin. There were other areas that were much thicker than this, as needed to provide structural strength. Also, be aware that the crumpled foil, which they are showing while he talks about this, is not what he is talking about. That is part of the thermal blanket that protects against solar overheating. It is crumpled, rather than pulled tight, so it will not pull or tear as it expands and contracts. It bears no structural load or atmospheric pressure.
It's still really thin. I am building an airplane and the thinest material I am using is 0.020". 0.012" is extremely flimsy. But Grumman was desperate to save weight. They were late, under tremendous pressure, everyone was pissed at them, but the LEM was a brilliant design. And it ended up saving the apollo 13 crew.
You're discussing the thickness of a non-functional fake movie prop. Do you care about the thickness of spacecraft used on Star Trek? Same thing. They're BOTH movie props.
Walter Carter go get an engineering degree and come back and s....what am I talking about...go finish high school and come back and see us. 400,000 American engineers and technicians put Americans on the moon, whether you believe it or not. The fact that you don't understand how it was done, because you are an uneducated idiot, is your problem.
These films never ever get old,boring or repetitious, truly wonderful, God's hand was holding Apollo the whole way when Apollo 8 gave thanks to Him with the reading of Genesis at the Moon. God Bless America!
35:30 "Accomplished so little." Yea, because surviving that was such a tiny accomplishment. Hell, the Apollo 13 crew had the greatest accomplishments in the history of space flight. They survived.
100% agree. Not only did they survive but they learned so much from Apollo 13 that they made the following 4 missions much safer and much more trouble-free.
@@davidthompson2189 Yes, Apollo 13 is a movie. It also actually happened. It was one of those movies called a "true story" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_13
I remember all of this and all the problems facing the Astronauts and the Space Program .... I kept up with all the NEWS concerning it....I also watched with my telescopes.... I also wanted to be a part of something which I felt was the next step into bettering humanity and into it's existence towards helping and working and bringing people together, something to look forward to, into helping each other on our EARTH instead of all the constant wars. A new beginning for humanity so to speak.
19.30 minute in the documentary says the most concentrated effort of science,engineering and cost not seen since building the first atomic bomb which is so true, it really was doing what so many people thought was impossible and this documentary and part 1 show what great clever people work together can achieve just about anything given time and money.
More: Neil Armstrong may have been a civilian at the time, but he was a Captain in the United States Navy before joining NASA. Veterans do not become "civilians" just because we get out of the Navy.
He used a US Navy program to get his Aeronautical Engineering Degree. As part of the deal he had to do a period of a couple of years as an active service pilot plus a period in the Reserves. He actually had more time for his squadron reunions than Astronaut ones but He resigned his commission in the reserves before becoming an Astronaut.
I read "First Man" a few months before Neil Armstrong's passing and one thing I found particularly interesting was Jack Schmtt's assessment of the lunar samples collected by the astronauts. It was his opinion that Neil did the best job of picking appropriate samples which he thought was pretty amazing considering Apollo-11 didn't get as much training as the other missions plus they were on the moon for only 2.5 hrs.
What and Awesome video. Great job on putting good information in it. RIP Neil Armstrong .So far, eighteen astronauts have been killed on space missions, and at least ten more have been killed in training accidents on the ground In-flight accidents. RIP to all that have lost their life in space exploration.
I was a nine years old when my father told me, that Apollo 17 would now be the last. It was such a huge disappointment. To have the chance now to experience the „second wave“ as a 60 oder 70 years old is just an amazing thing. And never would I have thought that all this pioneer work would be questioned by crackpots and conspiracy fanatics. But I feel only sincerely sorry for them in their blindness. Those will never experience that fantastic feeling that comes when truly great things are achieved.
When we explored the oceans for distant lands, we used sailors. When we explored the lands for distant opportunities, we used horsemen. When we explored space for distant challenges, we used aviators and scientists. What is so distant that's worth exploring today and what kind of people will we send? I believe JPL, with use of uncrewed vehicles, gives many greater access to distant exploration at a fraction of the cost. A 14 year long rover mission on Mars is difficult to match with anything requiring a crew.
No one went to the moon, it was a Stanley Kubrick production in a studio. Space is full of stars and radiation, no one can go above 400 miles up to low orbit. Effective propaganda to cheat the masses out of their money and their souls. Humans are profoundly stupid.
@@TheZen900 sure, you guys can believe you are more intelligent than thousands of scientists in the whole world who proved the moon landing is real. I mean even russia and China said it was real even though they were hardcore ennemies with USA at the time.
I have been told that one of my great-grandmothers believed the moon landing was filmed in Hollywood. She did have an understandable excuse--she was born in 1888! What excuse do people today have? Flat-Earthers and moon-landing deniers are an embarrassment to the human species.
One person gave away when this was made, 1999. It's now been 20 years since this was done and we still haven't gone back. That's 50 years since Tranquility Base.
The accident happened at the absolute perfect possible time. Right before they were getting ready to land, and the LEM saved their lives. One of those, truth is stranger than fiction story's.
The science of propaganda you mean....no one went to the moon, they stayed in low Earth orbit all the time of the TV production. truthofexistence.weebly.com/mark-of-the-beast.html JBJ didn't resign over the Vietnam war, he loved war. He resigned out of fear of being associated with the hoax of all those phony moon trips. LBJ didn't want to be embarrassed if caught.
The images of the Apollo landing sites taken from LRO are proof enough, because no other geological feature on the moon looks like the foot trails at the landing sites. Furthermore, if you compare the original on-board 35mm color film footage of the Apollo 17 landing site at 48:03 in this video, with todays LRO images of the Apollo 17 landing site, you'll see that everything matches.
When I was a kid I was taking it for granted just like almost everyone else , going too the moon was like getting in the car for a ride , thats how good NASA can be or maybe still is when funded , just need a strong economy and a dream .
Yes but sadly by all the evidence I’ve seen, he’s also not a very nice person and extremely arrogant. Basically the apparent opposite of Neil Armstrong!
@@suekennedy8917 Thick bitch!!!! the TV camera was on the decent stage and the S-band dish on the LM was tiny. It could support the Telemetry required for flight or TV on the surface (in the case Apollo 11) but not both. Learn about radio bandwidths and antenna gains before opening your stupid mouth. The lunar Rover and CSM had a much bigger dish for comms and TV than the LM did. Stop stealing this planet's oxygen!!!
The moon is only a luminary object given to us by our creator. The moon is not accessible to man. Man has never gone beyond Low Earth Orbit. Have a look at the landing craft that was supposed to have landed on the moon. It's put together with duct tape, tin foil and rods you would build a wendy house with. You are being laughed at. Waken up before you die or die a gullible fool.
"The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense." -- Dr. James Van Allen
There was a kid at our school who used to tell the most courageous porky pies that the teachers used to call him NASA. To this day people still call him that. Poor guy never lived it down. I heard he eventually got a job working with 6 legged elephants on Jupiter. I'm so glad he turned his life around bless him. Just goes to show that a Tiger CAN change its spots.
Its an interesting point that the guys were hostile towards scientists getting involved.. If the program had continued, scientific expeditions would have been better than what became little more than joy rides..and basically repeating the original mission..
I think it's so cool that the astronauts got that geology training. The training did come in handy since it helped them to snag the "Genesis Rock", so called because they originally thought it was once part of the primordial lunar crust. Later dating showed it to be around 4.1 billion years which makes it younger than the moon, but a cool and interesting find nevertheless.
Apollo 11 and Apollo 13 missions? The number of cigarettes consumed by mission control? I really hate smoking. But, I can find some humor from seeing all of the images of people smoking like a chimney.
That neil armstrong had nerves of steel ! Damn that was good flying and proves why he was chosen to be one of the men to go to the moon, because that lunar module they were test flying looked ridiculouly unsafe .....!
Test pilots are there for *TESTING* Mercury, Gemini and Apollo 7-11 were all test flights. Do you have test pilots flying airliners, once the airline's testing is complete? They once said it was easier to train a pilot to pick up a rock than to train a geologist how to fly. But really, it is easier to train a geologist to fly than to train a pilot how to analyze and decide which rocks to pick up. And on top of that, flying in space is unlike flying in air to the point pilots could not really transfer skills acquired by flying airplanes, so the pilots skills were irrelevant.
"But really, it is easier to train a geologist to fly than to train a pilot how to analyze and decide which rocks to pick up." But the penalty for making mistakes is so much higher. If a pilot picks up the wrong rocks, you potentially lose some of the science. If a geologist flying the spacecraft makes a mistake, you potentially have a dead crew. And the crews of the last three missions did a very nice job with the geology. And while it's true that the "stick and rudder skills" weren't particularly transferable, the mindset was. Several of the astronauts have talked about particularly difficult parts of the mission taking place in "slow time"-it's like the mind kicks into a different gear and everything just seems to slow down. That's a hard skill to learn when you're in a position where rushing around can get you killed.
@@almostfm The majority of them were test pilots who along with good stick and rudder skills have to have good observational skills, eyesight and memory. The skills of a good scientist, which are very transferable with a bit of good teaching.
@@richardvernon317 If fact, I think Schmitt was the only one to fly on a lunar mission that wasn't a test pilot. And as I said, the last three missions did a good job in the field geological, and I think that comes down to the attitude the commander takes toward the subject. Lovell was quite interested but of course never got to land. Shepard was apparently quite uninterested and it showed in the samples they brought back. And then on 15, Scott, Irwin, and Worden showed them how to do it, and do it right.
Well to those non-believers out there,get a preatty nice telescope and look at the moon itself...get a real nice tele and you can see the stuff they left behind,doubt it if you want but seeing it with your own eyes tells the tale.
From what I have learned a telescope on earth is not powerful enough to see the Apollo landing sites. We can see the site from non manned orbiters that have been sent up. Those videos are available to see
You got it. It's amazing how lies make more money than anything else ever does. Radiation in space is superman's criptonite for humans. There is no protection great enough to protect man in space from it. One man will tell you it damages instrument and life support systems. Another man would say No way. THAT is the only reason they cannot get there. So your welcome Arthur.
Fools huh. Well you must be the fool here then. Because THEY lied and never went to the Moon. If you can prove they did, lets see that proof. Otherwise your wise ass remark doesn't hold water.
They seem to feed themselves with what, I don´t know. I don´t know what they´re smoking neither. What I do know, they never went to school, and if they did, never learned a thing. Ignorance is the powerhouse behind all this crap poured to "garnish" all treads like this one. People do seem to have a hard time figuring out the difference between knowledge and an opinion. Bloody silly, isn´t it?
Funny how god and religion plays such a huge part in a cold calculated scientific mission. God was on our side, god speed, reading from the bible whilst orbiting the moon etc. Thank God for the Athiests who didn't place their trust in Fantasy🙄
@Cognitive MGTOW The Lunar Module was never flown on earth. It was impossible to do so. You are referring to the LLRV/LLTV - and it didn't 'crash on earth every time'. On May 6, 1968, Armstrong was forced to use LLRV ejection seat from about 200 feet after a control problem, The accident investigation board found that the fuel for the vehicle's attitude control thrusters had run out and that high winds were a major factor. Neil Armstrong commented - "Eagle (the Lunar Module) flew very much like the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle which I had flown more than 30 times at Ellington Air Force Base near the Space Center. I had made from 50 to 60 landings in the trainer, and the final trajectory I flew to the landing was very much like those flown in practice. That, of course, gave me a good deal of confidence - a comfortable familiarity." Astronaut Bill Anders is quoted as describing the LLTV as "a much unsung hero of the Apollo Program". Although Armstrong had to eject from the LLRV, *_no other_* astronaut ever had to eject from the LLTV, and every Lunar Module pilot through the final Apollo 17 mission trained in the LLTV and flew to a landing on the Moon successfully.
@Cognitive MGTOW Fortunately your ridiculous response is shadow banned. As I explained, The LLTV which you are referring to did not crash on earth 'every time' whilst the LM could only fly in space.
@Cognitive MGTOW *_"Only Truth gets Shadow Banned on RUclips"_* I have been shadow banned on You Tube multiple times as have others. It plagues us all. It is a defective and poorly introduced algorithm to prevent spam but indiscriminately tends to ban users in the comments section irrespective of their stance. You are not special and your parroted claims can be found with a cursory search on google. And guess who owns You Tube genius? *_"I'm deleting it completely since your shriveled raisin of a brain couldn't muster the IQ to challenge anything I wrote."_* Irrespective of your desperate ad hominem rebuke which I am completely impervious to, I can address everything that you regurgitated which is precisely why you'll find that its been comprehensively debunked before.
@Cognitive MGTOW Not really, no. You first need to substantiate your claims. As I explained, every individual that uses the comments section of You Tube is prone to shadow banning irrespective of their stance. Regarding the nonsense that you parrot about the Apollo programme, I am more than happy to disprove every aspect of it based upon independently verifiable sources, information and known and ineluctable science.
17 minutes mark...isn't this all a simulation....what is krantz role?...no matter what i say...they r going to land..."we just gave them their fuel level"...."look over the spacecraft quickly"...rocks blown into lem...stay no stay...krantz breaks a pencil...what a leader...then john is thanked by a nazi major....his greatest compliment...lol
This arrogant attitude by the astronauts toward >non-astronauts< continues to really annoy me. In particular is the treatment of Dennis Tito. From what I read some astronauts refused to train with him. Evidently, taking and using his and our tax money is a problem, but letting us taxpayers ride along can't be tolerated. I lost all respect for NASA after I learned this.
By that logic, you must think it equally arrogant that the SEALs don't just train and then allow anyone with a stack of cash to come along on their missions despite their being funded by tax dollars...NASA is not a travel agency for the wealthy and the astronauts are not tour guides...
Aw come on....Would you rather risk a space flight or getting shot in in some third world hell hole for nothing more than projecting the agenda of a very corrupt government? I'm going into space. Your reasoning is flawed. No one said they are a travel agency but their thirst for tax dollars has no limit does it? They will let you pay for it all but you can't ever ride along because you just don't measure up and never will. Fuck em.
Thema inproblem Either way it's not simply a case of "tagging along" since the missions would need to be altered to account for me (or whoever). The last thing anyone needs in a space or military mission is unnecessary complications and as I (and pretty much anyone else) would not have a purpose for being there other than selfish curiosity it would be difficult to justify it. If someone can make a convincing case for why it would be worth the hassle, that's fine. Curiosity combined with the money to back it up however is not by itself a good enough reason to put the astronauts etc at more risk than usual.
That is actually a great point! And point well taken. I agree with your angle completely as stated. Tagging along would not be acceptable at all . However, there could be an extremely tight standard that would have to be met before acceptance. All sorts of compliance items would have to be considered. I would like to go and I feel that in some way I could contribute to the mission given a chance and the proper training. As a tax payer I (and so do you) deserve this or at least a chance at this opportunity of a lifetime. But it should be very difficult to be accepted as a candidate.
The science that is on the moon has yet to be found. We can find fossils from the moons creation after it was formed from a large impact to earth. You find plant fossils 4.5 billion years old. It could answer some serious evolutionary theories before the Cambrian. What was on the earth before our moon formed, what was its phyla like, etc.. Lots of questions still to answer just 250 thousand miles away.
First off, they would not be in the belts long enough for any significant exposure, just ask Neil Degrasse Tyson! Secondly,The command module's inner structure was an aluminum "sandwich" consisting of a welded aluminium inner skin, a thermally bonded honeycomb core, and a thin aluminium "face sheet". The steel honeycomb core and outer face sheets were thermally bonded to the inner skin.
1:59 "No-one outside the tiny Russian elite ever knew of these launches" BALONEY - EVERY SOUL WITHIN A THOUSAND KILOMETERS Saw, heard, and Felt them launch.
This doco shafted quite a few people, including Alan Shepard, Apollo 14 commander. His crew landed in Fra Mauro, the hilly area Apollo 13 would have landed in, and was the first to really start contributing to the geological science. It was a personal victory for Shepard as well. who'd been grounded throughout Gemini because of an inner ear problem. But, the doco makes ZERO mention of this mission, skipping from 13 to 15.
Shepard and Mitchell failed to complete their scientific mission on the surface because they got lost!!! Also their documentation of samples were very poor compared with the other missions. Apollo 16 also got left out, thought John Young and Charlie Duke did a much better job on the surface than 14 did.
looks like some charge or electromagnetic or magnetic forces can be on layer where ships burn at reentry so it looses radio signal it probbly makes destortion on signal around ship, stronger signal might work, more energy more electro magnetic force

He reminds me of a cousin who was a scientist at the Smithsonian. Both men were whip-smart.

Superb documentary. At 18:40 when John Houbolt talks of Wernher von Braun telling him "Thank You John" after Apollo 11 landed on the moon was very special.
Very important that these documentaries were made at a time when many of the people involved were still around.
The period when NatGeo and Discovery were awesome. Great documentary! I think this is the biggest accomplishment of human kind till now.
True that its sad their doubeling down now because they want to stay waaay a head in the cold war that ended NOT we could already have colonies on the moon and mars if us defense didnt went on a overkill shopping spree
Wait, the creation of this documentary is the biggest accomplishment of human kind?
Totally agree. The honesty of the writing and narration is such a pleasure.

I can remember being 9 years old, sitting transfixed in front of the old B & W Philco. The proudest moment I ever had of being an American.
I was there for both Apollo 8 & 11 launches as a spectator. It is something I will NEVER forget. I was three miles away and those rockets shook the very ground we were standing and talk about loud.. I am still deaf 😁
Your one luck person wish I could been there to see that monster rocket take off bet one hell of a sight and I bet the sound was amazing

That is one cool series ("From the Earth to the Moon"). and I make sure to watch it at least once or twice a year. Tom Hanks did a bang-up job with that.

Moon rocks that got tested that shown to be petrified wood that were given as gifts to royalty. How can you watch this pathetic nonsense and still believe it.
After his time at NASA, John Houbolt worked with my Dad at Aeronautical Research Associates of Princeton. I was a kid and I remember him and his wife coming over for dinner with my parents. I remember meeting him fondly.
I also got to meet Jack Schmitt at a lecture in Princeton a year or two after Apollo 17.
I remember watching Apollo 17 lift off! It was really late (for a 13-year-old on a school night, anyway!) because there had been numerous "holds" while they got everything straightened out. But the wait was worth it! The commentator was so excited! "It's like daylight here at Cape Kennedy!!" Even on my little B&W TV in my bedroom it was spectacular!
We need to get our shit together, stop fighting wars and get back up there!!
I applaud the makers of this film about this historic feat.
I had just celebrated my 11th birthday the day before Alan Shepard became the first American into space. I watched every launch, fascinated and with fingers crossed.
I can remember getting up at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning to watch the launches from the west coast.
I am still proud of the American know how that got those men to the moon and back.
We won't forget the sacrifices of White, Grissom, and Chaffe either. They knew the dangers involved and were supreme examples of 'The Right Stuff'.
With a lot help from former Nazis.
Except it's copyright material getting paid ad revenue not his it's history channel rrom early 2000s
Moon missions were fake
I will never forget those days. I was 10 yrs old watching the liftoff on a 19" B&W TV with about 100 other kids that day. Then we all assembled in the auditorium again for the landing on the moon. How fortunate we were. History was made that day and in the days that followed. Almost 50 years have passed since we began this journey. Mars is the next step. Let's do it. Our destiny is in outer space. Let's go.
At 10 years of age, you believe that humans could go to the moon. Good for you. Nevermind the Van Allen Radiation Belts
@@LordOfThunderUK Piss off you feeble-minded loser. No-one cares about your bullshit.
I was raised in that era. As a young boy my dad worked on the early attempts to refine rocketry in the deserts of New Mexico. Later we moved to Los Angeles, where he would bring home 8X10 glossy photos of the Lunar regolith taken by one of the Surveyor space craft that had landed on its surface. In my in my teens dad became the Senior Electrical QA Supervisor on the Apollo Launch Team working for North American Aviation. It was a magical time that follow on generations do not comprehend or been inspired by. Self serving politicians played off a dumbed down electorate to end our fledgling steps into deep space with promises of "free" cell phones, health care, and so forth. It's very sad.
I remember the biggie at the time being school lunches. Like it was an either/or. And pop culture was all about Tang and renaming "Space food sticks" to take the word "space" out of it, as it was only a marketing gimmick. All the while, the clock kept ticking, and the tech quickly slipped into being entirely un-maintainable. Cheaper to do from scratch, which we never did. Too busy building and maintaining a nuclear arsenal and burning fuel in military craft, fighting out proxy wars.
@J Calhoun if we pay taxes and the rich pay their fair share and have a single payer there will be savings due to cutting out the middle men. How much you pay for health insurance?
@J Calhoun If you have any friends who are doctors ask them what they think about health insurance companies, or look into it yourself. They're not losing money!!! they have a licence to steal.
@Ray Carpenter..exactly...you nailed it...The politicians took the money away and redirected most of it (after they took their cut) to an ever increasing indigent society..in an effort to gain votes..

What natural sense of occasion Neil Armstrong had.. To come up with the name, "Tranquillity Base" right on the moment.. That crew will never be forgotten.
He didn't.
While that world be good, and in some ways would be comforting, it seems more apparent (or seems more apparent to me) that the base was named for the Sea of Tranquility - the large surface area of the moon upon which the base was located.

I've often wondered if NASA used Hypnosis on their astronauts but told the poor bastards that it was just in case they lost it out in space and this way they could use a single word to calm them when in truth it was to make them fully believe they went to the moon?? Something's wrong there because these dumbass astronauts seem to actually believe they went. The CIA were very prevalent at NASA back in the day and probably still are. Mind control experiments?? The CIA were all about that shit back then so it could've been used on those poor bastards.. haha!

Armstrong was nominally a civilian in that he was not active duty military, like the others. He was none the less a Navy combat pilot in Korea in the 1950s before becoming a test pilot in the X-15 program.
He was a Civilian, he resigned his USNR Commission in 1960. he was paid by NASA. Buzz and Mike Collins were still serving regular officers on the USAF payroll.
Good stuff, but they went from Apollo 11 to Apollo 13 without talking about 12, (where lightning hit the contrail of the rocket just after lift off) and from Apollo 13 to 15, skipping right over Apollo 14, with Al Shepard and Ed Mitchell walking on the moon, with Stuart Roosa as command module pilot...particularly odd to not mention it, considering that Alan Shepard was the only one of the original Mercury 7 to walk on the moon.
Not to mention they forgot about Apollo 9 and 10.
4:23 the man is saying that the thickness of the crew compartment is the thickness of three pieces of Reynolds Wrap. In fact, 12 thousandths of an inch (.012 in) is actually the thickness of three beer cans (which are .004 in each). Household aluminum foil is about .0006 in, so it would take 20 thicknesses of aluminum foil to equal the thickness of the thinnest areas of the LM crew compartment skin. There were other areas that were much thicker than this, as needed to provide structural strength.
Also, be aware that the crumpled foil, which they are showing while he talks about this, is not what he is talking about. That is part of the thermal blanket that protects against solar overheating. It is crumpled, rather than pulled tight, so it will not pull or tear as it expands and contracts. It bears no structural load or atmospheric pressure.
Was foil thicker when he would have been measuring it?
It's still really thin. I am building an airplane and the thinest material I am using is 0.020". 0.012" is extremely flimsy. But Grumman was desperate to save weight. They were late, under tremendous pressure, everyone was pissed at them, but the LEM was a brilliant design. And it ended up saving the apollo 13 crew.
You're discussing the thickness of a non-functional fake movie prop. Do you care about the thickness of spacecraft used on Star Trek? Same thing. They're BOTH movie props.
@@waltercarter6163 yeah, yeah...go away, dummy. Adults are talking here.
Walter Carter go get an engineering degree and come back and s....what am I talking about...go finish high school and come back and see us. 400,000 American engineers and technicians put Americans on the moon, whether you believe it or not. The fact that you don't understand how it was done, because you are an uneducated idiot, is your problem.
These films never ever get old,boring or repetitious, truly wonderful, God's hand was holding Apollo the whole way when Apollo 8 gave thanks to Him with the reading of Genesis at the Moon. God Bless America!
how the hell did these guys manage to walk with balls this huge?
35:30 "Accomplished so little." Yea, because surviving that was such a tiny accomplishment.
Hell, the Apollo 13 crew had the greatest accomplishments in the history of space flight. They survived.
100% agree. Not only did they survive but they learned so much from Apollo 13 that they made the following 4 missions much safer and much more trouble-free.
We were very lucky something similar didn't happen on Apollo 8 since they didn't have a LEM to escape to.
@@Drgonzosfaves Or if it had happened after Apollo 13 had landed on the moon and the LM had been discarded, what then?

We need to go back. I hope my young adult kids get to see man walk on the moon again.
19.30 minute in the documentary says the most concentrated effort of science,engineering and cost not seen since building the first atomic bomb which is so true, it really was doing what so many people thought was impossible and this documentary and part 1 show what great clever people work together can achieve just about anything given time and money.
It was even better for those of us who were alive at the time, watching it in real time...
More: Neil Armstrong may have been a civilian at the time, but he was a Captain in the United States Navy before joining NASA. Veterans do not become "civilians" just because we get out of the Navy.
He used a US Navy program to get his Aeronautical Engineering Degree. As part of the deal he had to do a period of a couple of years as an active service pilot plus a period in the Reserves. He actually had more time for his squadron reunions than Astronaut ones but He resigned his commission in the reserves before becoming an Astronaut.
Yes, yes you do become a civilian again.
I believe that he and Joe Engle were the only Mercury/Gemini/Apollo astronauts to have also flown the X-15.
@@threehead99 No sir. You become a Veteran. In this position, you look almost like a civilian, but you are WAY better.
@@kennedymcgovern5413 veterans are CIVILIANS who USED to be in the military. Like that is basic etymological definitions.
I read "First Man" a few months before Neil Armstrong's passing and one thing I found particularly interesting was Jack Schmtt's assessment of the lunar samples collected by the astronauts. It was his opinion that Neil did the best job of picking appropriate samples which he thought was pretty amazing considering Apollo-11 didn't get as much training as the other missions plus they were on the moon for only 2.5 hrs.
Neil paid attention in his training, period.
What and Awesome video. Great job on putting good information in it. RIP Neil Armstrong .So far, eighteen astronauts have been killed on space missions, and at least ten more have been killed in training accidents on the ground In-flight accidents.
RIP to all that have lost their life in space exploration.
Very well done, with cool new info not seen before, this way. Bravo!
I was a nine years old when my father told me, that Apollo 17 would now be the last. It was such a huge disappointment. To have the chance now to experience the „second wave“ as a 60 oder 70 years old is just an amazing thing.
And never would I have thought that all this pioneer work would be questioned by crackpots and conspiracy fanatics. But I feel only sincerely sorry for them in their blindness. Those will never experience that fantastic feeling that comes when truly great things are achieved.
Neil armstrong ejected so damn close before the flying bedsted crashed ! He must have had nerves of steel !
What a great great series...thanks so much for posting!!
When we explored the oceans for distant lands, we used sailors. When we explored the lands for distant opportunities, we used horsemen. When we explored space for distant challenges, we used aviators and scientists. What is so distant that's worth exploring today and what kind of people will we send? I believe JPL, with use of uncrewed vehicles, gives many greater access to distant exploration at a fraction of the cost. A 14 year long rover mission on Mars is difficult to match with anything requiring a crew.
It’s sad to hear Gene Cernan say he hopes it won’t be 50 years before we’re back on the day after the 50th anniversary of that first landing.
No one went to the moon, it was a Stanley Kubrick production in a studio. Space is full of stars and radiation, no one can go above 400 miles up to low orbit. Effective propaganda to cheat the masses out of their money and their souls. Humans are profoundly stupid.

I have been told that one of my great-grandmothers believed the moon landing was filmed in Hollywood. She did have an understandable excuse--she was born in 1888! What excuse do people today have? Flat-Earthers and moon-landing deniers are an embarrassment to the human species.
one of best documentaries ive seen - great job uploading
One person gave away when this was made, 1999. It's now been 20 years since this was done and we still haven't gone back. That's 50 years since Tranquility Base.
The accident happened at the absolute perfect possible time. Right before they were getting ready to land, and the LEM saved their lives. One of those, truth is stranger than fiction story's.

The images of the Apollo landing sites taken from LRO are proof enough, because no other geological feature on the moon looks like the foot trails at the landing sites.
Furthermore, if you compare the original on-board 35mm color film footage of the Apollo 17 landing site at 48:03 in this video, with todays LRO images of the Apollo 17 landing site, you'll see that everything matches.

How unnecessary the muzak is. We're not kids.
I think it's so cool that the astronauts got that geology training. The training did come in handy since it helped them to snag the "Genesis Rock", so called because they originally thought it was once part of the primordial lunar crust. Later dating showed it to be around 4.1 billion years which makes it younger than the moon, but a cool and interesting find nevertheless.

Mike Collins passed away today. Respect to the legend 🙏
Test pilots are there for *TESTING* Mercury, Gemini and Apollo 7-11 were all test flights. Do you have test pilots flying airliners, once the airline's testing is complete?
They once said it was easier to train a pilot to pick up a rock than to train a geologist how to fly.
But really, it is easier to train a geologist to fly than to train a pilot how to analyze and decide which rocks to pick up. And on top of that, flying in space is unlike flying in air to the point pilots could not really transfer skills acquired by flying airplanes, so the pilots skills were irrelevant.
"But really, it is easier to train a geologist to fly than to train a pilot how to analyze and decide which rocks to pick up."
But the penalty for making mistakes is so much higher. If a pilot picks up the wrong rocks, you potentially lose some of the science. If a geologist flying the spacecraft makes a mistake, you potentially have a dead crew. And the crews of the last three missions did a very nice job with the geology.
And while it's true that the "stick and rudder skills" weren't particularly transferable, the mindset was. Several of the astronauts have talked about particularly difficult parts of the mission taking place in "slow time"-it's like the mind kicks into a different gear and everything just seems to slow down. That's a hard skill to learn when you're in a position where rushing around can get you killed.
@@almostfm The majority of them were test pilots who along with good stick and rudder skills have to have good observational skills, eyesight and memory. The skills of a good scientist, which are very transferable with a bit of good teaching.
@@richardvernon317 If fact, I think Schmitt was the only one to fly on a lunar mission that wasn't a test pilot.
And as I said, the last three missions did a good job in the field geological, and I think that comes down to the attitude the commander takes toward the subject. Lovell was quite interested but of course never got to land. Shepard was apparently quite uninterested and it showed in the samples they brought back. And then on 15, Scott, Irwin, and Worden showed them how to do it, and do it right.

@Cognitive MGTOW
The Lunar Module was never flown on earth. It was impossible to do so.
You are referring to the LLRV/LLTV - and it didn't 'crash on earth every time'. On May 6, 1968, Armstrong was forced to use LLRV ejection seat from about 200 feet after a control problem, The accident investigation board found that the fuel for the vehicle's attitude control thrusters had run out and that high winds were a major factor. Neil Armstrong commented - "Eagle (the Lunar Module) flew very much like the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle which I had flown more than 30 times at Ellington Air Force Base near the Space Center. I had made from 50 to 60 landings in the trainer, and the final trajectory I flew to the landing was very much like those flown in practice. That, of course, gave me a good deal of confidence - a comfortable familiarity."
Astronaut Bill Anders is quoted as describing the LLTV as "a much unsung hero of the Apollo Program". Although Armstrong had to eject from the LLRV, *_no other_* astronaut ever had to eject from the LLTV, and every Lunar Module pilot through the final Apollo 17 mission trained in the LLTV and flew to a landing on the Moon successfully.

Fortunately your ridiculous response is shadow banned. As I explained, The LLTV which you are referring to did not crash on earth 'every time' whilst the LM could only fly in space.

fantastic doco :-)
This arrogant attitude by the astronauts toward >non-astronauts< continues to really annoy me. In particular is the treatment of Dennis Tito. From what I read some astronauts refused to train with him. Evidently, taking and using his and our tax money is a problem, but letting us taxpayers ride along can't be tolerated. I lost all respect for NASA after I learned this.
By that logic, you must think it equally arrogant that the SEALs don't just train and then allow anyone with a stack of cash to come along on their missions despite their being funded by tax dollars...NASA is not a travel agency for the wealthy and the astronauts are not tour guides...
Aw come on....Would you rather risk a space flight or getting shot in in some third world hell hole for nothing more than projecting the agenda of a very corrupt government? I'm going into space. Your reasoning is flawed. No one said they are a travel agency but their thirst for tax dollars has no limit does it? They will let you pay for it all but you can't ever ride along because you just don't measure up and never will. Fuck em.
Thema inproblem
Either way it's not simply a case of "tagging along" since the missions would need to be altered to account for me (or whoever). The last thing anyone needs in a space or military mission is unnecessary complications and as I (and pretty much anyone else) would not have a purpose for being there other than selfish curiosity it would be difficult to justify it. If someone can make a convincing case for why it would be worth the hassle, that's fine. Curiosity combined with the money to back it up however is not by itself a good enough reason to put the astronauts etc at more risk than usual.
That is actually a great point! And point well taken. I agree with your angle completely as stated. Tagging along would not be acceptable at all . However, there could be an extremely tight standard that would have to be met before acceptance. All sorts of compliance items would have to be considered. I would like to go and I feel that in some way I could contribute to the mission given a chance and the proper training. As a tax payer I (and so do you) deserve this or at least a chance at this opportunity of a lifetime. But it should be very difficult to be accepted as a candidate.
The science that is on the moon has yet to be found.
We can find fossils from the moons creation after it was formed from a large impact to earth. You find plant fossils 4.5 billion years old. It could answer some serious evolutionary theories before the Cambrian. What was on the earth before our moon formed, what was its phyla like, etc.. Lots of questions still to answer just 250 thousand miles away.
First off, they would not be in the belts long enough for any significant exposure, just ask Neil Degrasse Tyson! Secondly,The command module's inner structure was an aluminum "sandwich" consisting of a welded aluminium inner skin, a thermally bonded honeycomb core, and a thin aluminium "face sheet". The steel honeycomb core and outer face sheets were thermally bonded to the inner skin.

Wonderful!!
Such an accomplishment with "merely" pencils,rulers,compasses and sliderules(?!) ,but most of all ingenuity WOW...
There were electro-mechanical calculators, and even electronic computers at that time.
it's a good thing they had all those cameras on the moon in order to film it al
John Houbolt was the key for the program success
1:59 "No-one outside the tiny Russian elite ever knew of these launches" BALONEY - EVERY SOUL WITHIN A THOUSAND KILOMETERS Saw, heard, and Felt them launch.
Nice to see someone actually got that....
This doco shafted quite a few people, including Alan Shepard, Apollo 14 commander. His crew landed in Fra Mauro, the hilly area Apollo 13 would have landed in, and was the first to really start contributing to the geological science. It was a personal victory for Shepard as well. who'd been grounded throughout Gemini because of an inner ear problem. But, the doco makes ZERO mention of this mission, skipping from 13 to 15.
Shepard and Mitchell failed to complete their scientific mission on the surface because they got lost!!! Also their documentation of samples were very poor compared with the other missions. Apollo 16 also got left out, thought John Young and Charlie Duke did a much better job on the surface than 14 did.
Apollo 13 was brilliant for so many reasons not to mention dead reckoning.
Nothing wrong with a fighter pilot. A cousin of mine is one and he was also an astronaut. Dr. Schmidt is one of the best.
If I hadn't already seen part 1, the misspelling of cosmonaut at the beginning might have caused me to question whether this video is worth my time.
looks like some charge or electromagnetic or magnetic forces can be on layer where ships burn at reentry so it looses radio signal it probbly makes destortion on signal around ship, stronger signal might work, more energy more electro magnetic force
